Few photographers are as synonymous with the music scene of the Sixties and Seventies as Gered Mankowitz. The London-born photographer is perhaps best known for capturing rock icons The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, but these incredible works only scratch the surface of a 65-year career.<\/p>\n

In celebration of a truly legendary body of work that began in 1960, Mankowitz has teamed up with ACC Art Books to publish Gered Mankowitz: Photographs.<\/p>\n

And while he is best known for his work with celebrity subjects, his award-winning commercial photography is on display, too.<\/p>\n

It also includes a foreword by Annie Lennox, recollections from some very famous subjects and collaborators such as former Slade frontman Noddy Holder, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, and Suzie Quatro, as well as personal insights from Mankowitz himself.<\/p>\n
